Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help. Where is 'Courish' or Courush' please?
« on: Thursday 21 June 12 23:12 BST (UK)  »
Hello folks,

In 1891 Census my ancestors Annie Toole, Hugh Touhy and Mary Duffy (I suspect this is an Anglicised spelling of her pronunciation of 'Toughy' as we would spell it today) are listed as coming from 'Courish' or 'Courush'  in Ireland. 
I can find no such place in Ireland when I Google the name.

In 1901 Census it just says Ireland.  If anyone knows I would be very grateful
Many Thanks for reading this

I hope this reaches the original poster of the message - Julie.  We must be related as these people are my relatves too. 
And I have had exactly the same trouble with this placename.  I cannot find anywhere in Ireland with the names Courish or Courush.

I can't see an 'L' in there at all.

Was this ever resolved?
